Tex-Mex Turkey Skillet

Sick of gravy and stuffing? Take your leftovers in a completely different flavor direction with this spicy, Southwestern skillet recipe. Jalapeños peppers and a Tex-Mex spice blend completely change the flavor of the meat, so it doesn’t taste like Thanksgiving at all.

A quick note on the ingredients: enchilada sauce is available in stores, but you might be hard-pressed to find one that isn’t full of gross stuff. This recipe has instructions for making a Paleo version if necessary – it’s basically just tomato sauce with extra spices, so it isn’t hard. Try making double what you need, and then freezing the extra for the next time you want some.

The pickled jalapeños give the whole recipe a nice, spicy garnish and make it easy for each person to adjust the spice level without making a lot of extra work for the cook. It’s a very family-friendly recipe, and a nice way to enjoy some flavors that typically get neglected during the winter months.
